Here’s what Inslee’s top staff will earn

Gov-elect Jay Inslee’s first batch of hires will receive salaries commensurate with the earnings of those whom they will succeed.

Mary Alice Heuschel, his chief of staff, will be the highest paid of his senior staff at $166,000 annually. That figure is the total after calculating in a 3 percent salary reduction mandated in the last budget cycle, according to a spokeswoman for Inslee’s transition team.

Here is what other hires in Inslee’s administration will be paid. All the figures reflect their salaries after the 3 percent reduction.

David Schumacher, director of the Office of Financial Management, $158,160

Kevin Quigley,secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services, $158, 160
